A POET'S EPITAPH John M. Hastings

what do poets leave behind? mournful thoughts       feelings wrought             with love abandoned                   life unfulfilled or lover's wine-wet lips       devoured             in fleeting moments                   stopping time or peace and grace       to blanket hate             write calming thoughts                   for tortured souls we etch our words       upon the cosmos             ask it how                   we came to be to truly love...       to fully laugh...             to deeply cry...                   to finally die From  Spirit Eyes and Fireflies, a TOPS            Member Anthology            (Beret Days Press 2011)
